Red Soles


Pumps - Christian Louboutin similar ones here in black patent

Since it's Valentine's Day, I'm posting about another one of my favorite red things.  My red soled shoes from Christian Louboutin.  I had lusted after a pair of these for a really long time, but couldn't afford or justify the expense of them.  Finally, one Christmas season, I worked at Saks Fifth Avenue and got "the discount."  Boy, I was in heaven!  I can't tell you how much designer stuff I bought because I had "the discount."

I did all my Christmas shopping there that year with that discount.   I wish I could get that discount now without working there.  Saks would get the most benefit out of it because I rarely shop there now since I don't have the discount.  I think they should declare every Friday as "Non-employee discount day"  and just give us the discount!  



These shoes were purchased on an Atlanta trip at a discounted price.  They are still available online at a discount in several different color studs, including turquoise studs.  Cute!



Best of all, they have Cadence's seal (sniff) of approval.




I found some little copy cat "Louboutin's" here at Target.  Funny!  I'm pretty sure the entire soles aren't red because Christian Louboutin has that trademarked now.  I read an article about some women who are buying red paint to paint the soles of their shoes.  I wonder if Christian Louboutin will go after them for copying his trademark.

Probably not.  Personally, that's just too much trouble for red soles.  They get scuffed up anyway.  These shoes are also not made for walking very far.

The Murph has to pull up as close to the door as possible when I wear these.  I hobble from the car to the door very, very slowly.  It would be even better if someone would just carry me wherever I need to go when I wear these shoes.  

Seriously, I googled it once to see why these shoes, that are so expensive, are so hard to walk in.  I discovered that according to Christian Louboutin himself, they are indeed not made for the streets but for the bedroom.

I sure wish I had know that before I took them with me to NYC that one time.



The Murph bought me some clothes and swimsuits from Victoria's Secret, candy -white chocolate of course, and a couple of cards for Valentines Day.  I got him candy, a couple of cards and some Jazz CD's that he picked out for himself.  This is our first husband and wife Valentines Day since we were married in October.  I loved picking out Valentines Day cards that said "To my Husband" on them.

Loved it!

And we got some of our wedding pictures and hung them today.  We have two more to add to this collection and a couple of bigger pictures in color that are being framed right now.



Hope everyone had a Happy Valentines Day!

Red Things

In honor of Valentine's Day week I am doing a post about my favorite red things.  As most of you know by now, if you've been following my blog, I prefer pink over red any day.  Christmas and Valentines are the only time you will see me wearing anything that's red, but I do have some things red.

Here are some of my favorites.

My favorite red cowboy boots.




Cowboy Boots - Durango (old) similar Here;  Dress - BCBG Maxazria  (old)

My favorite red dress.


Red Dress - BeBe (old) similar Here, but only two sizes left;  Bracelet - BeBe (old); Necklace - antique

My favorite red nail polish.


Nail Polish - OPI Big Apple Red

My favorite red lipstick.

Lipstick - Mac Russian Red

The only red work out clothes I own other than shirts I get at races.  Worn rarely, usually twice a year.


Workout shorts - Nike (old); Workout tank - Addidas (old);  Running Shoes - Brooks Glycerin (not red!)

My favorite "red" products.

 




Perfume - Versace Red Jeans;  Body Lotion - Bath and Body Sensual Black Currant Vanilla; Mascara - Maybelline Stiletto Waterproof, of course;  Lip pencil - Mac Cherry

And last but not least, my favorite socks with my favorite red M-dot Ironman logo.  


The definition of M-dot in the urban dictionary is....

M Dot
An "M DOT" is a nick name for a crazy, tough, risk taking person. It's a way to describe someone in a fierce and violent way.

And this is the logo for Ironman?  Coincidence?  I think not.

Keyword here being "crazy".  70.3 is only "half crazy".  Just so you know.
